Giddings Mouthpieces stands alone with the world's largest selection of stainless steel mouthpieces, crafted from the finest surgical-grade materials for unmatched durability, hypoallergenic performance, and superior energy transfer. This Orchestral Alto is engineered specifically for the unique challenges of alto trombone in orchestral settings — where extended high passages, delicate blending, and soaring lines demand both endurance and precision. We built it with a comfortable, supportive rim that reduces pressure and fatigue during those grueling high-register sections, allowing you to play longer with less strain. Added mass balances the feel and stabilizes response, giving you a secure, centered core that responds instantly and projects effortlessly. The result? Crystal-clear tone, focused articulation, and confident control across the entire range — whether you're floating lyrical highs over the strings, nailing exposed melodic lines, or blending seamlessly with the horn section.

Why orchestral players love this mouthpiece:

  • Endurance for extended highs — The rim and balanced mass let you tackle demanding alto parts without chop collapse, even in long rehearsals or performances
  • Centered, projecting tone — Stainless steel delivers vibrant clarity and power that cuts through orchestral textures while maintaining warmth and musicality
  • Effortless response & slotting — Quick attacks, smooth legato, and secure highs/lows for total confidence on tricky repertoire (Mahler, Strauss, Beethoven, or modern works)
  • Perfect balance — Not too heavy or light — feels natural on small-bore alto trombones, enhancing playability and musical expression
  • Premium stainless steel — Hypoallergenic, no replating, maximum efficiency from your air to the horn for consistent, brilliant sound gig after gig

This isn't just a mouthpiece — it's your orchestral ally for playing alto trombone with authority, comfort, and artistry. Conquer those high-register challenges, float above the ensemble, and deliver every note with the confidence you deserve. From the pit to the stage, the Orchestral Alto gives you the edge. Ready to elevate your alto game? This is the one.
